Chapter 857 Academy I
At night, St. Joan of Arc Girls' College was completely silent.
Although today Inner Bay was not peaceful, it actually had no effect on St. Joan of Arc Girls' College — in fact, even if Baro Hamlet became Master of Inner Bay, St. Joan of Arc Girls' College would still remain peaceful, with no incidents occurring at all.
There was such an exception not because of the two excursions and celebration events that St. Joan of Arc Girls' College holds every year.
But because—
Saint!
The appearance of this word on the Mystic Side only has one meaning: Divine Spirits!
St. Joan of Arc Girls' College had appearances of Divine Spirits!
Many believe it was Miss Joan herself, but more people think it should be someone else. However, whether it's the former or the latter, because of the unique 'dignity' of 'Divine Spirits', these commoners cannot remember who it is, and can only use the word 'Saint' as a substitute.
And because of this word 'Saint', it was enough to let St. Joan of Arc Girls' College become transcendent, and...
Not exist within Mystery!
Or rather, the original Mystery was infiltrated and then eliminated one by one.
Regarding new Mystery?
It will also end like this.
After all, Old Lion values this place greatly.
However, this doesn't mean the girls in the college don't yearn for Mystery.
On the contrary, these girls have reached a certain Extreme in their yearning for Mystery.
Born with curiosity.
Also because of the environment.
The kind of environment where they know but can't touch, making each girl search for secrets like a cat.
Unfortunately, they ultimately gain nothing.
Never doubt Old Lion's execution ability.
So, despite their arduous effort, this group of girls did not find A Tiny Bit related to 'Mystery', greatly disappointing these wealthy and idle students.
However, it's not without benefits.
At least, this group of girls formed one small group after another.
And tonight, these small groups met to hold a meeting—
A candle was lit in the abandoned Hunter hut behind the college.
Here used to be the Hunter hut of the college.
A long time ago, the college had its own hunter who would bring a lot of meat to the college every month, improving the lives.
However, since Old Lion took over, there was no need for hunters to improve the lives of the students anymore.
Naturally, hunters weren't needed anymore.
The Hunter hut was also abandoned.
Usually before the cold winter coal is stored here.
After the cold winter passes, basically no one comes here.
And it became the 'secret gathering place' for each batch of students.
This batch was no exception.
Ellie, with her short gray hair and slender figure, walked excitedly around the hut, beside her were Reine, Donna, Joli Li, and Judith.
And these five were the Boss among the students of this batch.
Especially Ellie, with a slightly masculine look, handsome face, and proficient swordsmanship and riding, had more than fifty followers — and this is only nominally.
In reality, there would be more!
To know, this batch of students had only around two hundred people.
"Do you know what happened during the day?"
Ellie stopped and asked the four people beside her.
"Yes.
A sword can even split a house!
This is the Mystery we're searching for!"
Reine, with fiery red hair and pretty little tiger teeth, spoke with a crisp and rapid voice, showing she was impulsive.
"Ha, even an idiot would know that."
Donna, casually hugging her chest, half looked down at her feet, her mouth full of disdain.
Clearly, Donna and Reine didn't get along.
"Flat girl, what did you say?"
Reine sneered.
"Who are you calling flat girl?"
Donna asked unfriendly.
"Who is flat I'm saying who!"
Reine was relentless.
This time Donna didn't argue further but drew the Longsword from her waist — St. Joan of Arc Girls' College has swordsmanship courses.
Of course, it's just within the scope of Basic Swordsmanship.
However, even so, it was enough for students to choose to wear a Sword.
And as Donna drew her sword, Reine stepped back and pulled out a Firearm.
Facing the gun barrel, Donna's expression stiffened.
Reine proudly tilted her neck.
"People say big boobs no brains.
You don't have big boobs, but why no brains either?"
Reine's words made Donna clench her teeth, her eyes becoming fierce.
No doubt, the next moment, this lady would act without regard.
However, with a glance from Ellie, Joli Li and Judith stepped forward to block the two — although they very much wished to see the two engage in a brawl, facing Ellie's request, they didn't dare disobey, not wanting to be ostracized.
Even if they had gathered a group of girls around them.
Yet they know, as long as Ellie says the word, these girls would abandon them.
Ellie had unimaginable prestige among this batch of girls.
"The key point!
You have to see the key point!
That sword brought Mystery and likewise informed us of the existence of Mystery — but have you ever thought about why we didn't know before?
I think today's event isn't coincidental."
After the hut quieted down, Ellie reiterated.
With good family backgrounds, educated elitely from a young age, Reine, Donna, Joli Li, and Judith are definitely not fools.
On the contrary, they are smart and knowledgeable.
As Ellie finished speaking, they grasped the key point right away—
"Ellie, do you mean, could someone be erasing memories?"
Joli Li frowned, and even some vertical lines appeared on her high nose bridge.
This snow-skinned girl certainly didn't want to have her memory erased.
But according to her speculation, she had already had her memory erased more than once.
Just as Ellie had said, today's incident absolutely wasn't coincidental.
Because, when they made a fuss, the teachers seemed very calm.
"Damn!
Am I actually having my memory erased?
Have I forgotten my beloved?
With a peerless appearance, standing at 1.85 meters tall, eight-pack abs, wealth enough to rival nations, is he in some unknown corner feeling sorrow?"
Judith, small in stature, wearing a pair of bunny ear hair clips and a pink nightgown, clutched her chest looking like her heart was about to break.
Immediately, Reine, Donna, and Joli Li all simultaneously gave the middle finger to Judith.
Ellie sighed helplessly.
Just when this girl was about to snap Judith out of it—
Pfft!
It was laughter.
Laughter that couldn't be held back.
Laughter that came from outside the Door.
"Who's there?"
Ellie shouted, then drew her sword.
The remaining four girls also looked cautiously towards the entrance, particularly the cutest-looking Judith, who subtly pulled out two round bombs from under her nightgown.
"Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose.
Couldn't help it."
With these words, a figure pushed the Door open.
And upon seeing this figure, the five girls suddenly panicked.
Because—
"Jennifer Teacher!"
